Welcome to #SixtySexySeconds, a brand new Valentine’s Day Short Film Competition.
Now don’t jump in your conclusions, “Sexy” doesn’t always revolve around sex. “Sexy” can be independence, confidence, humour and passions. Maybe you get even more creative, and create something that revolves around what is NOT sexy. Or maybe you just make a cute valentines love story. That is cool too.
Many of us hate valentines day, lets be honest. So why not make it a day of creativity and win a film contest that will get you a screening at the UK’s biggest Independent Film Festival?
In case you need more convincing: The top 5 winners will be screened at our Raindance Film Club screening in February 18th at London’s Century Club. The top 2 films will screen at the Raindance Film Festival this Autumn.
